Summer Session a Magnificent Experience

St. Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Theological College in Berkeley, CA

The St. Joseph of Arimathea Seminary Summer Session ran from July 21st to the Feast of Saint James (July 25th). It was an entirely “zoomed” event. Mornings began at 9:00 a.m. with Morning Prayer followed by a 10:00 a.m. class in liturgics led by Bishops Hansen and Ashman. After a lunch break Canon Weber led a class in liturgical chant and hymns.

Many of us learned that we could begin taking our first steps in chanting. In all there were fifty-three participants: some for credit and others auditing. An added bonus was that many members of the Province met other members who had only been names. It was a magnificent experience.
